Less than 1 day now

Confession:  I love Spain, and I really love the French route.  I often catch myself wondering why I chose Portugal this time, and missing sections of Spain (particularly the Meseta), but then tell myself that I have walked most of it (except St. Jean to Roncesvalles and Samos to Sarria), including all of the alternative routes, and it's good to go new places.  Anyway, went and looked on the Camino forum yesterday and someone had posted gorgeous photos of Portugal, and I was reminded of why I chose this 2 years ago, when I did.  All the pictures I have seen over time have made me want to go here...I just need to be reminded, and be open to new places.  Would like to walk from Lisbon, but at this time having to stay in hostels every night would be too expensive for me, so it's Porto to Santiago to Finisterre to Muxia to Santiago...at least that's the plan:) Walking the Camino doesn't always go as we plan, I think I'll be fine with that (at least after the fact:)

Seem to be overpacked as usual...can never really figure it out, the sleeping bag takes up a lot of space, but I don't think that's it.  Got about 20 more hours to figure it out.

Peace, L
